But now Christmas is to give And also to receive And to go and visit and say, "Merry Christmas, Uncle. Steve!" Bill Allison Grade 5 Zurich Public School Christmas Eve Yum, yum, everything tastes delicious! I hope I don't get stuck with all the dishes. Mom and Dad, will have some tea. Me! I'll trim the Christmas tree. Red balls, green balls, even a little holly. I wonder if I'll receive a watch from dear Aunt Molly. Allyson Shephard Grade 5 Zurich Public School Christmas Is Christmas is joy, fun and laughter. It is not only receiving presents, but also giving them. Christmas is hanging beauti- ful ornaments on a big tree. It is getting together with all your friends and relatives and having a wonderful time. It is also decorating your home in beautiful Christmas colours. Christmas is the turkey and dressing on the table. It is waiting for the arrival of our dear friend Santa Claus. Lori Turnbull Grade 5 Zurich Public School The Real Meaning of Christmas Christmas's real meaning is about Jesus. He is the son of Mary and Joseph. The wise - men followed a special star to the stable where he lay. The wisemen brought him very nice gifts. But best of all, Jesus is our Savior.

With nine pairs of eyes focused on her, she reached in and pulled out a curly, black bundle of fur. Everyone gasped with delight when they realized that the tiny fluff -ball was a miniature French poodle. Mom explained to us that this cuddly, little fellow was her Christmas pres- ent from Dad. With much care a bed was prepared. The next day was an exciting one but I think that the night before was the moment that I shall remem- ber and cherish all my life.

The students designed the decorations Christmas Season Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are a very busy time in our family. Our family goes to church on Christmas Eve for the short plays that the children put on about the birth and the life of Christ. After this we go to our grandparents home for a half an hour or more to talk about plans for the next day. Later, at home I turn the lights on, on the Christmas tree. My sisters and I go to bed while our parents finish wrapping gifts for the next day. In the morning I wake up my sisters and we tiptoe down- stairs to see what we have received. Later our parents get up and we give them their gifts. After having breakfast, we dress and then go to the Christmas services at the church. When we come home, we have a quick lunch and then a couple of hours later we go to our grandparents home for supper and a family gathering. When all of the dishes are washed and dried it is time to give and receive gifts. After thanking the people for what they have given us, my cousin plays the piano and we all sing Christmas carols. Late at night we return home very happy and tired.
